The musical is set to take stage only in late 2017 or early 2018, with a premier either in Broadway in New York or in Las Vegas, according to DailyMail.co.uk. Merry Saltzman, daughter of Bond films producer Harry Saltzman and executive producer of the musical, added that the musical will provisionally be titled James Bond : The Musical, with music and lyrics provided by folk rock musician Jay Henry Weisz.
